[DeTomaso] "Emergency flasher" Rx

[Wayne Stevens]

Thanks Dave - I like this best: "If it ain't broke . .
. " My orig hazard swithch kept blinking and I held it
'Closed' with a tiny machine screw.  I bought this
current replacement 10 years ago and the resto is just
complete and this is only 1 of 100 demons on my punch
list - I kind of like it the way it is! <G> Wayne in
